WASHINGTON, April 6, 2016 -- Wild horses of Maryland's and Virginia's Assateague Island National Seashore were previewed today as the third of 16 Forever Stamp images to be revealed over a three-week period to celebrate the National Park Service's 100th anniversary. A photograph by Tim Fitzharris of Fayetteville, AR, was used to create the image.
Assateague Island National Seashore, MD and VA
This barrier island is a tale of constant movement and change. Explore sandy beaches, salt marshes, maritime forests and coastal bays. Bands of wild horses freely roam amongst plants and native animals that have adapted to a life of sand, salt and wind. Visit this link for more information about Assateague Island National Seashore.
